ABSTRACT
In current scenario there is strong requirement to develop Entrepreneurial mindset in engineering student. A
simple method to analyses the level of existing competence among the students is to conduct Dermatoglyphics
Multiple Intelligence Test of the students. DMIT test can help to get insight of the inmate characteristics of students
to start Enterprise as career option. Along with DMIT Psychometric test based on questionnaire is also conducted
to analyses their mindset depending upon their preconditioning and belief system. In the present work a sample
of 90 students were taken and DMIT and Psychometric test was conducted on them. After the test an
Entrepreneurship training program was conducted for these students. To validate the results again DMIT test and
Psychometric test was conducted for these students. Test results of DMIT and psychometric analysis were
carefully recorded and analyzed.

I. INTRODUCTION
Fingerprints are formed in the womb of the mother and they can be utilized to identify the learning style
of the student. There are four general patterns of fingerprint i.e. whorl, loop, arch, and accidental as
shown in figure 1. Ridges on the skin of palm and toes begin to form in after 13th week embryo grows
in maternal body. The formation of these patterns i.e. dermal lines will complete during the 24th week.
Once fully developed the dermal patterns remains unchanged for the whole life. The formation and
analysis of these patterns is correlated with development of brain and learning style of an individual.
